Most phones in US are tied and branded to a single carrier. You can find an unlocked WP the cheapest being 49.99 and but a more decent spec ones from 99.99 USD. AT&T is the most WP friendly carrier and T-Mobile is a distant second. Verizon and Sprint, are most often not on board since they are CDMA. Hopefully VoLTE will change that.
- novaleaf 11y agoFYI I use Ting, which allows GSM or CDMA devices (they contract with Sprint and TMobile) They arn't the cheapest carrier you can get, but seems a good tradeoff for device interchangeability and price.
- DanBC 11y agoMost phones in the UK are locked to a carrier, but we don't have anti-unlocking laws like DMCA. There are little shops on the high street that offer unlocking services. (This is just carrier locking. Anything that changes IMEI is illegal with a maximum 5 year prison sentence)
